As you grow, so will your influence and responsibility, shaping not just deals, but the future of OakNorth in the US. In a nutshell, the mission of our Associate Director will focus on transaction execution, and close deals in a timely and efficient manner. The successful candidate will have significant experience working on sponsor finance and cash flow lending transactions in the lower middle and middle markets while also having broader C&I lending experience.
